"Your Majesty, Zheng He has entered Beijing."

Zhu Yunwen just turned over from the dragon couch and got out of bed, squinting and yawning with sleepy eyes, and Shuangxi came over.

"Yes."

Zhu Yunwen, who was still depressed just now, suddenly came to his senses: "Where are the people?" ”

"I'm waiting outside the door."

"Call, call."

Zhu Yunwen urged: "Don't wear this for me, change into light civilian clothes, and inform the cabinet that today's small court meeting will not be held."

Shuangxi, you too, since Zheng He has entered the palace, why don't you wake me up, how long has he been waiting? ”

"It can be more than half an hour."

"It's too unusual."

Waiting for the palace maids on both sides to be better dressed, Zhu Yunwen walked out of the warm pavilion quickly, and muttered as he walked: "Zheng He has been floating on the sea for two or three years for me, he is my minister of humerus, and he is the hero of our Ming Dynasty, how can he let him wait for more than half an hour." ”

The master and servant hurriedly walked through the corridor and walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with a group of palace eunuchs, without waiting for Zhu Yunwen's ass to sit down, and there was already a singing outside the palace door.

"Slave Zheng He knocks to see my emperor's holy bow."

"Come in, come in."

couldn't care about sitting down at the moment, Zhu Yunwen walked down the stairs, walked quickly to the threshold of the palace gate, looked at Zheng He who got up, and looked up and down.

The latter also looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile.

Stretched out his hand and patted Zheng He's shoulder a few times, Zhu Yunwen sighed with emotion: "Okay, my Jinghai Governor of the Ming Dynasty is back, well, I haven't seen him for more than two years, I'm dark, thin, and strong." ”

Holding Zheng He's forearm, Zhu Yunwen pulled the latter into the main hall.

"Don't be polite to me, sit down, sit down."

"Slaves don't dare, please sit down first."

Zhu Yunwen didn't go back to the dragon chair above him, so he simply sat down on the Taishi chair that visited on both sides of the hall, and at the same time beckoned Zheng He to sit on his side.

"Have you had breakfast?"

After speaking, he slapped his forehead: "It's only now, you entered the palace early and waited for me, where can you have time to eat, double happiness, send someone to the Shangshan Bureau to get some food." ”

"Huh."

Double Happiness offered two cups of tea and answered.

Zheng He raised his buttocks lightly and bowed slightly to take the tea bowl: "It's hard work for grandpa Sun." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and in the hurried footsteps, seven or eight little eunuchs walked in with all kinds of pastries and some steamed buns, hot porridge and other food, and filled the table between Zhu Yunwen and Zheng He.

Zheng He was just about to thank him before moving his chopsticks, but when he saw Zhu Yunwen sitting opposite, he was not polite.

"Double happiness, move a stool and eat some by yourself, otherwise it's a pity that this big table is wasted."

This matter of master and servant eating together, Shuangxi is much more than Zheng He's times, and he is not seen, and Xie En's kung fu is naturally quick-eyed 'godson' to bring a stool and eat when he sits down.

If this picture of master and servant had been placed ten years ago, I am afraid that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, would have been sprayed to death, but even if it is seen by the cabinet now, no one will say anything criticizing.

Zhu Yunwen is such an emperor, he is meticulous in official affairs, and he doesn't talk about any affection, but he is absolutely open-minded and lenient in private affairs.

There is no way, the emperor himself is alone, even in the face of the queen, because of his identity, he is essentially half public and private.

Only in the face of these eunuchs and servants can it be regarded as a pure private matter in the true sense, and it is a group of people who can make friends.

If a person is in a long-term lonely and closed environment, his psychology will collapse.

A psychopathic emperor, what a terrible thing to think about.

"When will you come back, I haven't heard from here yet."

"I got off at the port of Quanzhou three days ago."

Zheng He said: "The slave maid was a day early in the fleet, and after coming down, he rested in Quanzhou for a day, and then rushed back with a whip, so he did not notify the post men along the way. ”

In Zheng He's opinion, the matter of going to Arabia to find sea charts is not a big deal, and there is no need to follow the military situation and make any 600 or 800 urgent.

It's too ostentatious.

A eunuch dares to report an urgent return to a country?

Then the outer court should fry the pot again, and it can't cause trouble to the emperor.

Zhu Yunwen snorted, and then asked, "What has Quanzhou become over the years?" I have always heard that Quanzhou is more prosperous than Nanjing, and I have always wanted to see it but I have no chance. “

"It's very prosperous, indeed."

Zheng He reported the situation in Quanzhou Port, including Quanzhou Prefecture, and said with a smile at the end: "Speaking of which, when the slave maid returned to Quanzhou Port to get off the ship this time, she happened to meet the Quanzhou branch of the imperial merchant and collided with An Dingbo. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and drank a sip of hot porridge to be interested: "What is this brother-in-law busy with, I asked him to be in charge of Fujian's Jinyi Guard in Quanzhou, there is nothing wrong." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen trusted himself so much and directly told Gu Yu's identity truthfully, Zheng He felt warm in his heart and said with a smile.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, An Dingbo not only did not make any mistakes, but also made meritorious contributions."

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's puzzled face, Zheng He told the affairs of Geng Jiang, the shipping department, and Lu Dahu, the Yamen of the Quanzhou Naval Division, and made Zhu Yunwen angry.

"It's just lawless!"

After scolding, Zhu Yunwen knocked a finger on the table a few times: "I have long known that Quanzhou, the land of great wealth, with endless exchanges of gold and silver, will definitely have a group of officials who can't control their claws." In a word, this Geng Jiang and Lu Dahu are simply thieves, and they dare to think of turning the shipping department and the sailor yamen into their tools to collect money! ”

Daming has zero tolerance for corruption, and he is picking up the skin and grass at every turn, but he still can't stop the officials from being greedy one after another, Zhu Yunwen has thought about this problem and discussed this matter with the cabinet.

At first, the reason is well known, saying that officials are poor and cannot afford to eat will inevitably break the law, and Zhu Yunwen also expressed his understanding.

It's all starving, and all laws are bullshit.

In addition to the addition, after Zhu Yunwen opened the commercial ban and commercial tax, he allowed the local provinces to retain 30 percent, and the Quanzhou Shipping Division, as a major tax collector, could keep 10 percent of the profit to the officials and officials above the bureau.

Quanzhou retains hundreds of thousands of taels of tax silver in a year, which is enough for everyone up and down to share dozens to 100 taels, which is enough for them to achieve a well-off life and have no shortage of meat.

But even so, it still can't stop their hearts.

Killing heads will cut off the greed in people's hearts, and the sentence that people die for money is not an empty talk.

Even if it is 10,000 years and 100,000 years, as long as officials are not replaced by AI robots, there will always be corrupt officials.

After Zhu Yunwen finished scolding, Zheng He continued: "Now that these two people have been taken into the Quanzhou Jinyiwei prison by An Dingbo, I believe that a copy will be handed over soon." ”

Zhu Yunwen snorted lightly: "There's nothing to say about this, you should cut off your head and cut off your head, you should raid your home, but don't exile your daughter-in-law and children or something, let the Quanzhou government arrange an errand like for textile manual work, Liaodong is bitter cold, and the child may not be able to survive if he goes." ”

Shuangxi and Zheng He both froze.

For so many years, Zhu Yunwen has always been ruthless to corrupt officials, even the prince of his own family was greedy, and his family members were all exiled, why is his heart softer now?

This may be the enjoyment of a person who has just started to be an emperor.

A fluttering word, whether it is exile or full of beheading, Zhu Yunwen doesn't feel anything, he even likes this feeling very much.

But when this sentence falls, it is a new and endless human tragedy.

After Zhu Di's martyrdom, he made a list of 'rebellious', including Fang Xiaoru, Jingqing, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Huang Guan and others, most of these people's family members were beheaded, and the female dependents were filled into the Jiaofang Division.

"Dozens of people are gang-raped every day, day and night, and the children born are killed if they are Ding, and they continue to be prostitutes if they are women."

The disaster of Jingnan is gone in this time and space, but the punishment of Hu Lan's case has always existed, and the inner court has always left records.

Can any modern person be accustomed to such a place that completely vents his animal desires and is full of bestiality comparable to Wei'an's place?

During this time, he was in the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Wenkui still took some inscriptions from various places and said a word.

"The new Liaodong political envoy has a copy of the book, saying that most of the exiles are female dependents with swaddling children, without male protection, and there are many people who are raped by neighbors at night, and they commit suicide by hanging from the beam due to their humiliation, and the children die of cold and starvation because they have no food."

And the latter sentence pierced into Zhu Yunwen's heart.

"If my father thinks that these officials are the most heinous people, then it is better to behead them all and exile, but it is better to be happy to cut them with a knife."

Or maybe Zhu Yunwen himself has become an emperor faster over the years, and he has more heirs, so he feels more deeply?

"What's wrong? Flowers on my face? ”

Seeing that the two of them were looking at their hair, Zhu Yunwen was still a little confused, so he opened his mouth to ask a question, which woke the two up.

"Your Majesty is merciful."

"The punishment for the crime is comparable, and one person is punished for sinning, and this can be regarded as mercy."

Zhu Yunwen sighed in his heart, and he didn't know whether his so-called 'kindness' was right or wrong.

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, the slave maid has another incident in Quanzhou."

Zheng He remembered the matter between Gu Yu and Geng Jiang, so he opened his mouth to repeat it, and finally said with some worry: "Your Majesty, do you want to send a letter to An Dingbo and let him ......?"

"Leave him alone."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to stop Zheng He's words, and said indifferently: "If he wants to play with fire, let him play, but I want to see how far he can play, and where is it so simple for him to make such a moth." ”

"Your Majesty's meaning."

"This will slowly come to light later."

Diverting the topic, Zhu Yunwen asked: "How about it, tell me about your trip to sea, have you got the chart?" ”

The only thing that Zhu Yunwen can care about at the moment is the nautical chart from Arabia to all the ports in Europe and Africa!
